• Implementation of any advice or strategy is at your discretion

• Your success depends on your effort, consistency, and application

Communication and Boundaries

Coaching access, communication frequency, and deliverables are limited to what is outlined in the specific package purchased. Additional requests outside that scope may require an additional fee or agreement.

Scheduling and Attendance

Clients are responsible for scheduling and attending sessions within the agreed timeframe. Missed sessions without adequate notice may be forfeited.

No Guarantee of Results
